Study Notes

Density

Mass: The number of particles in a substance
Volume: The amount of space an object occupies
V = Length x Width x Height

Physical and Chemical Changes

Physical change: Alters properties but no new substance is formed
Chemical change: Alters properties and a new substance forms

Particle Theory of Matter

All matter is made of tiny particles
Particles of the same substance are identical
Particles are always moving; faster with more energy
Attractive forces between particles are stronger when closer together

Bohr Rutherford Diagrams

Atoms are most stable when their outer shell is completely full or empty

Classification of Matter

Alloy: A solution of two or more metals
Pure substance: Composed of only one type of particle
Mixture: Composed of at least two different types of particles
- Mechanical mixtures: Different particles are visible
- Solutions: Different particles are not visible

Electrical Nature of Matter

Electrons can change, protons cannot
Protons are heavy and located in the nucleus. Changing them needs extreme force
Electrons are light and orbit outside the nucleus. Small forces (like friction) can affect their number
Opposite charges attract; like charges repel

Charging by Friction

Rubbing materials together can cause electrons to transfer
Some materials hold electrons better than others

Charging by Contact

A charged object touches a neutral object which transfers charge

Charging by Induction

A charged object is near a neutral object, inducing charge movement in the neutral object

Voltage, Current, and Resistance

Voltage (V): Energy per charge, measured in Volts
Current (I): Charge flow per second, measured in Amperes
Resistance (R): Opposition to current flow, measured in Ohms

Series and Parallel Circuits

Series circuits: Components are connected one after another; not as bright; turn on/off together; less power; if one breaks, all break
Parallel circuits: Components are connected across each other; brighter; switches can control individual components; more power; if one breaks, others stay on

Power and Energy

Power: Rate at which a circuit element "does" something, measured in Watts (W)
Energy: Total power accumulated, measured in Joules (J)
Power = Voltage × Current

Energy in Ecosystems

All energy comes from the Sun
Sun → Producers → Herbivores → Carnivores/Omnivores
Carbon cycle:
- Photosynthesis absorbs carbon dioxide
- Respiration releases carbon dioxide
- Fossil fuels release stored carbon into the atmosphere.
Bioaccumulation/biomagnification: Toxins accumulate in living organisms (especially in top-level predators)
Solar System: Sun provides energy; Nuclear fusion generates heat and light in stars
- Tides are produced by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.

Life Cycle of a Star

Waxing: Light increase, star growing
Waning: Light decrease, star shrinking
Stars start as a stellar nebula, then grow and change based on their mass.
- Average stars become red giants, then white dwarfs
- Massive stars become red supergiants, then supernova, neutron stars, or black holes
